Sports agent claims OJ Simpson confessed

Published on May 10, 2008 at 2:35 PM

Mike Gilbert, who served as O.J. Simpson’s sports agent for a reported 18 years, has spilled the juicy details of what happened on the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were murdered. Gilbert’s book, “How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse” is due in stores Monday but was released to the Associated Press in advance.

Gilbert claims that O.J. had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when Simpson told him he didn’t bring a knife to his ex-wife’s apartment on June 12, 1994 and that, “If she hadn’t opened that door with a knife in her hand … she’d still be alive.”

Gilbert a memorabilia dealer who profited from O.J. Simpson for many years, also claims he helped Simpson avoid the murder charges by telling him to stop taking his arthritis medicine causing his hands to swell so they wouldn’t fit in the infamous Isotoners, according to the AP.

Simpson’s current lawyer Yale Galanter, said that none of the claims are true and that Gilbert is “a delusional drug addict who needs money.”

Gilbert retorted that Galanter is:

“an ambulance chaser and an enabler and denier for O.J.  I know. I used to do the same thing. I understand the game.”

Gilbert is currently in hot water with the IRS for years of funneled money from autograph signing appearances to Simpson under the table so the Goldman family could not get it.
